Ms. Lehner's 4th Grade

Dear Fourth Graders and Parents,

The 2018-2019 school year will be here before you know it. This packet contains information about the summer reading assignment and summer math work we want you to practice during your summer break. This work will sharpen your skills and prepare you for fourth grade.

SUMMER READINGBefore you start fourth grade get a taste of this exciting year through Evan's and Jesse's point of view. As you read The Lemonade War complete the comprehension questions from each chapter of the novel.

You are also required to read a biography and other informational text about famous doctors and scientists. Generate several open-ended questions to guide your research. Write a bio-poem about the person that includes important facts you think their classmates should know.

Additionally, we will have a contest to see what student in each class can read the most books over the summer. The log is also included in your folder.

SUMMER MATH Fourth grade will begin the school year with place value. In preparation for this topic, you need to complete the “Record Breaking” Place Value Project. The detailed instructions and rubric for this project are included in your folder. Additionally, you should complete Lessons 1, 2, and 3 from enVision. These lessons will assist you in preparing for the fourth grade curriculum. Lastly, practice your multiplication and division facts. Use flash cards or other strategies to assist you with building accuracy and speed. This project and packet are also due September 6th.Another good way to stay sharp over the summer is by using IXL and ST Math weekly. You can log into IXL using the same information from 3rd grade. I have included how to access ST Math at home in this folder. Use the same password for ST Math that you did during the school year. Both programs will help you practice important math topics.If you have any questions, please visit the school website or contact the school. Have a safe and restful summer. See you in September!​Sincerely,The Fourth Grade Team​Fourth Grade Supply Listfor 2018-2019 School YearAll students should have the following by Tuesday, September 4, 2018:Required for each student:
